Sansa e250 and games

Llorean:
You can still "resume" from a Stop

The difference between a stop and a pause is more noticeable on disk-based players, where "Pause" leaves all the music in memory (so the disk doesn't need to be spun for a resume) where Stop empties memory (which can be necessary to launch plugins that need more memory than is normally saved for them). Since there's no disk to spin, there's no real disadvantage to stopping on the e200 compared to disk-based players, and you'll only really notice a difference if you pause and then try to do one of the few things that require more memory (and they should tell you when you encounter such a situation).

zeno:
OK, thank you for the clarification.

Interestingly, the wps shows a traditional "pause" icon (two vertical blocks) when I do a pause or a stop here.  I'd expect to see a solid square when I'm stopped and two vertical blocks when I'm paused.  I tried a number of skins and every one behaved the same.  So, both the power button and the play/pause button seem to look like a pause on the e250 in the current build, at least for me.

No worries - I know know the truth with respect to game sound, which is what I was after.  Thank you.

Llorean:
You can't be in the WPS while music is actually stopped.
